Good Morning Eventing Nation! Well it just can’t go without saying that today marks the 10th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. The ripple effect of the devastation caused by the attacks was so great that even those of us least impacted, still felt (and still feel!) the impact a great deal. I’m sure we all remember exactly what we were doing on that day, ten years ago, when we were first informed of the devastating news; I know I can. I remember, like it was yesterday, being in my grade school classroom when the principal knocked on the door and motioned the teacher into the hall, to inform her of the news privately first. When our teacher came back in the room, I knew something was terribly wrong just by the expression on her face. In the split seconds before she spoke, I was running through all the terrible possibilities of the bad news that a grade school mind could muster: one of my parents had gotten in a car accident on their way back from dropping me off at school, or my cat had died, but I never could have guessed the news she was about share. Where were you and what were you doing when you first heard the news of September 11th?
